Modern kitchen

Barnes House

In this private family home, Richlite Black Diamond clads bespoke kitchen doors and joinery — including a hidden pantry concealed behind fold-away doors. The pocket system allows for a seamless look and fully functional kitchen, offering flexibility for every day life and entertaining. Made from recycled paper and built to last, Richlite brings both resilience and refinement to this modern kitchen.

The intricately detailed design balances minimalism with character, using paper-based surfaces to complement a refined material palette. Carefully crafted using a soft matte finish, the suede-like surfaces create a striking contrast to the backlit splashback. As a robust material that combines strength and style, Richlite is well paired with the client’s desire for something practical, tactile and timeless.
